Demon God
While Ishtar was enjoying the grass cutting and the cheers of the people, she was using her power without restraint, completely ignoring the fact that in the distance, a group of magical beasts had gathered together, and their flesh and blood were beginning to fuse.
Then the enormous fused beast let out a roar!
"Aww!"
The powerful sound waves, amplified by the Magnetic Field Power, reached a staggering 250,000 horsepower, causing Ishtar to feel a sharp pain in both ears. Even though these magical beasts possessed power surpassing Ishtar's, they were incapable of threatening her since they didn't understand how to wield such power.
However, Ishtar needed some time to recover from her unrestrained exertion. Normally, this flaw should have been insignificant when dealing with mindless beasts, but unfortunately, her opponent launched an attack at that very moment.
"Annoying thing, when did the Goddess of Demonic Beasts come up with this kind of thing?"
Ishtar channeled her power, unleashing her Magnetic Field Heavenly Blade towards the fused monster, but a mocking glint appeared in its bloodthirsty eyes, a look that sent a chill down Ishtar's spine.
A strange chill swept over her. Ishtar turned her head and saw that another identical fusion beast had appeared on the east side. It opened its blood-red maw, and the same 250,000 units of power converged. Its power cannon had already locked onto Ishtar, who had just finished attacking and exposed her weakness.
"Aww!"
The power cannon was poised to fire. Ishtar frowned, facing a threat ahead and surrounded by a horde of magical beasts. A small mistake had brought her considerable trouble.
But in the next moment, a chill that went straight to the soul crept up everyone's spine.
The wind seemed to stop at that moment, and a Magnetic Field Heavenly Blade, like an executioner's blade, landed directly on the neck of the fused beast. Its body remained unchanged, but its head slowly fell off.
With a thud, blood gushed out like water from a tap, and everyone present fell silent, the battlefield shrouded in a deathly stillness. As intelligent beings, they could barely breathe in the face of such overwhelming power.
"This move should be used like this."
A voice rang out from the sky, and in an instant, Ishtar seemed to be in a boundless Dahai, surrounded by crimson waves. But her senses told her that these were not flowing waves at all, but rather Magnetic Field Heavenly Blade.
Bai Mo flew through the air, unleashing the power of 250,000 horsepower. The Magnetic Field Heavenly Blade, like a giant wave devouring countless lives, swallowed up the magical beasts on the land. These magical beasts, whose power generally exceeded 50,000 horsepower, were instantly reduced to dust like chicken breast thrown into a meat grinder.
The 250,000-horse fusion beast, wounded, tried to leave, but the Magnetic Field Heavenly Blade, like a scalpel, entered its body, severing all its tendons and muscles, dissecting it like a butcher dissecting an ox, causing it to let out a heart-wrenching howl.
They were all destroyed. Not only that, the remaining power seeped into the Daichi. Apart from the main road, the surrounding dozens of miles were turned into a blood-red forbidden zone. Some magical beasts tried to set foot there, but as soon as they stretched out their claws, the Daichi released a blade of energy, instantly shattering them.
In his mind, Bai Wunan looked at the fused beast, his brows furrowing slightly, and said, "Heh, kid, it seems this time, our opponent's power is deeply entrenched. You probably guessed what this thing was all about, didn't you?"
Bai Mo nodded in agreement. Possessing Magnetic Field Power and the ability to fuse to enhance their strength, this was no longer within the scope of magical beasts. Although they were much weaker than the real thing, they couldn't be called magical beasts anymore.
"The Demon God... was previously one of the Sun and Moon Elders from the era of Sea Tiger, it seems this time it's someone from the Martial God Era."
Bai Wunan nodded and said, "Probably an old acquaintance of mine. Sigh, I wonder which enemy they are."
Bai Mo's lips twitched as he said, "If it's someone from the Martial God era, then it's highly likely that communication will be difficult."
During that period, Xie Bai had just begun to take human form. He committed too many sins, and almost everyone with a name was his enemy. Even though he is now the Ultimate Fire Summer Martial God, those deep-seated hatreds are not so easily erased.
Looking at the person in the air, Ishtar, a goddess, felt a surge of goodwill. This was simply out of respect for the strong, and also because Bai Mo had deliberately slowed down his movements when using the Magnetic Field Heavenly Blade, allowing her to understand the techniques involved.
On one hand, Bai Mo was generous because he saw her protecting the city. On the other hand, he also wanted to teach Arcueid, who only knew how to act recklessly, a lesson.
At this moment, Ishtar also noticed the dreamlike princess beside Bai Mo, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Bai Mo slowly landed in front of Ishtar. Ishtar's heart skipped a beat, and as she pondered how to phrase her words, Bai Mo spoke:
"Rin, I didn't expect you to have grown so much. But what are you doing in the Age of Gods? And dressed like that, what did Koyanskaya teach you? Didn't I leave a letter asking her to take good care of you?"
Bai Mo was like an older brother who came home for the New Year and chatted with the neighbor's younger sister, but he ended up being completely baffled by Ishtar.
"Hmm? Is this someone you know Bai Mo?"
Arcueid asked curiously, but before Bai Mo could answer, Ishtar immediately spoke up, "Wait a minute, what's with that big brother tone? I don't know that kind of person, and we're not even close, okay?"
Listen carefully, my Ishtar, the goddess of Venus, and the guardian deity of Uruk.
After saying that, she tossed her flowing black hair, trying to salvage her image. She wanted to dismiss Bai Mo's words as a clumsy attempt by an unromantic man to flirt with a goddess, but looking at Arcueid beside him, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.
Then, Bai Mo frowned and said, "Ishtar? The source of all evil in Mesopotamia mythology? Rin, are you possessed by something evil?"
Upon hearing Bai Mo's words, Ishtar's initial goodwill vanished instantly. She pointed at Bai Mo and said, "You dare say that to my face? Just you wait!"
After saying that, she immediately got up and flew away, leaving behind a harsh threat. After all, the disparity in strength was obvious, and for the sake of the goddess's dignity, she had to run away.
Bai Mo didn't stop him; he had other things to do than deal with this so-called goddess.
Only then did everyone belatedly realize what was happening, and they cheered:
"Croak! Long live the Gods!"
After all, someone who can accomplish something even goddesses struggle with must be a god, so there's nothing wrong with cheering them on.
Bai Mo frowned and said, "Quiet down. Take the wounded back from the battlefield. The sword energy within the ground won't attack you. Gather everyone together. Also, I'm not some god."
His voice wasn't loud, but everyone could hear him clearly, and people rushed to the battlefield to bring the wounded back.
In the square, Bai Mo was Cellular Regeneration of each person one by one, not only the wounded from this battle, but also those who had been injured or even disabled before. He finished treating everyone.
In the distant palace, Gilgamesh gazed at the northern city walls, stood on the windowsill, and remained silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Siduri looked at their king with some worry. He hadn't slept for a long time. Since these magical beasts appeared, Gilgamesh had been working at a high intensity like a machine.
Every day, looking at him, Siduri worried that he might suddenly die.
But the next moment, Gilgamesh's lips curled into a smile, and then he burst into laughter!
Siduri was stunned. How long had it been since she had seen the King laugh so heartily, as if he had achieved a life-changing transformation, letting out a joyful laugh? Since Enkidu left, the King had never laughed so heartily as he did today.
Laughter echoed through the palace. After some time, a maidservant approached; it was the same maidservant who had met Ishtar earlier.
"Your Majesty, regarding the reward for Lady Ishtar..."
Gilgamesh's laughter stopped, but the smile on his lips remained. He waved his hand and said:
"Compensation? What compensation? At first, they said they'd give a fixed amount of gems for hiring her for a month, but now it's ten times more for every job she does!"
Tell her, I won't tolerate this useless goddess. Give me back what you extorted, and then do it if you want, or get out!
Also, gather all the artisans in the city and discuss with them right now how to demolish that damned illegal building!
